Dedication ceremonies will be followed by a two-day sym- posium on "Perspectives and Horizons in Microbiology." The new institute building is in colonial style architecture as are many of the other Rutgers buildings. The four-story red brick structure is located on the University Heights campus where the State University of New Jersey is developing its new· science center. The institute building includes a central area, approximately 150 feet in length by 50 feet in depth, and two wings, 82 feet in depth by 42 feet in width. Over-all length of the building is 302 feet. Central area of the first and second floors, containing teaching and research laboratories, is constructed of remov- able metal partitions. Central area on the first floor will be devoted to teach- ing advanced courses and graduate stu- dent research, and includes two teach- ing laboratories, classrooms, and a mi- crobiological museum, as well as re- search laboratories. Lecture hall, seat- ing 200 persons, is located in the right wing of the first floor. Center and right wing of the second floor is the principal area of research. In addition to research laboratories, this area includes a number of special instrument rooms, warm, sterile, and cold rooms, a radioisotope room, a photography room, a sterilizing and washing room, and a solvent extrac- tion room. Right wing over the lecture hall is devoted to animal experimenta- tion and contains four rooms. Approximately half of the left wing is devoted to a pilot plant where fer- mentation processes can be carried out on a larger scale. It contains a num- ber of fermenters from five liters to 300 gallons. It is two and a half stories in height. Remainder of the left wing is given over to a solvent extraction room, a maintenance shop and storage rooms. Library reading room, seminar rooms and offices of administration are located on the third floor. There is room for approximately 7000 volumes in the library; the stack room is located im- mediately above the reading room. The fourth floor is given over to a confer- ence room and kitchen. Total cost of the building was ap- proximately $3 million; the equipment is valued at approximately $450,000. A grant by the Rutgers Research and Endowment Foundation from funds derived from royalties on streptomycin was made available to the university for the building and equipment.

Central area of the first and second floors, containing teaching and research laboratories, is constructed of removable metal partitions. Central area on the first floor will be devoted to teaching advanced courses and graduate student research, and includes two teaching laboratories, classrooms, and a microbiological museum, as well as research laboratories. Lecture hall, seating 200 persons, is located in the right wing of the first floor.

Milwaukee High School Students Tour Pharmaceutical Plants
Milwaukee high school students with an interest in pharmacy and chemistry are getting an opportunity to tour pharmaceutical plants. The tours are part of the city's new vocational guidance program. Harold C. Krahnke, chief of the pharmaceutical division of Lakeside Laboratories, is counseling the students.
Working with the Chamber of Commerce, Krahnke arranged for the first student tours to a pharmaceutical company to show young people the relationship between retail and manufacturing pharmacy.
Among the topics covered for the high school students are the regulations of F D A as they apply to both pharmacist and manufacturer, including background on new products, whether dispensed on prescription, or sold without prescription. The students also spend some time in the laboratories to learn about product development and control.
